- Summary
- McClatchy's compilation of his essays on contemporary poets is often elucidating and fueled by intelligence about and affection for poetry. He covers some of the best known and most often studied poets, such as Lowell, Bishop and Plath as well as some of the lesser known writers. Filled with the vital curiosity that leads the reader through a poem, McClatchy's opening essay on reading poetry outlines this process of discovery while reaffirming the value of critical reading.
